Bernie Sanders is serving his second term as a U.S. Senator from Vermont. He was elected to the Senate in 2006 after serving sixteen years as Vermont's sole congressman in the House of Representatives and, prior to that, mayor of Burlington. A Democrat as of 2015, he had been the longest-serving independent in U.S. Congressional history. Sanders has been a leading progressive voice on issues such as income inequality, universal healthcare, climate change and campaign finance reform. He was chairman of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs and in 2015 was tapped by Democratic leadership to serve as the caucus' ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee.

Since 1987, the Presidential Caucus Series has provided students, faculty, and community members with an opportunity to question presidential candidates or their representative before the precinct caucuses.

The series is cosponsored by Student Government, the College Republicans, College Democrats, and the University Committee on Lectures (funded by Student Government), and administered by the Lectures Program.
